#NowSpinning: Time to stop DOOMSCROLLING and time to start TUNESCROLLING! I am so sorry I typed that! If you know me, you know I like jazz, and so do these other fine white folk, gods bless 'em. It's through jazz that white people can (sometimes) be salvaged. Still not worth a shit, but 🤷♂️

Morning Thought: So much mess going on. So much. An overwhelming amount of shit raining down. Be good to yourself. Protect yourself. Be aware, but insulate yourself. Get sleep. Exercise. Read books. Take walks in the fresh air. Care for family/friends/neighbors. MOC on speed dial. Daily. Pressure.

some good news buried among the horrible behavior listed:
“The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”

I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.
They're afraid.
One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”

Minneapolis’ Hotel Workers Are on Edge
Staff across the city told NOTUS how their lives have changed since the start of the federal immigration operation. “It's frightening,” one said.

Maybe if we just start saying that every billionaire is a pedophile (how far off are we, really?) and every trillionaire-wannabe is a pedophile who even pedophiles don't want to hang with, then perhaps it won't be such a desirable social class?

a few streets had these today and they were usually in spots where ice has been known to drive by pretty frequently so this is essentially creating a citizen checkpoint to monitor for them it rocks a lot
Minneapolis is trying out new forms of resistance. They're doing pop-up blockade block parties. This one is on Cedar and 34th, a main route into the city. They have a stereo, food & a fire. MPD is present but not interfering. Lots of honks of support. ICE agents have been reported detouring around.

#StarTrek is trending and I'm afraid to look why but I have to say for as assholishly as I went into Star Trek Academy to hate-watch, I begrudgingly admit they really did a wonderful job by every metric: storyline, cast, hyperfuturistic look, old-Trek nostalgia and sensibilities, etc.

There are a lot of reasons society is in the dismal shape it is, but I can't help but blame Citizens United for preventing cleanup. Do we have any elected federal officials whose PAC contributions don't somehow source from Epstein's client list? Maybe 5... And y'all didn't want President Bernie...
